Charlotte’s Web Years 7 to 9 Production
There’s something magical about watching a story unfold live on stage. Last week, Charlotte’s Web reminded us all why theatre matters. Under the lights of the GMCPA stage, Years 7 to 9 students brought Wilbur, Charlotte, and the barnyard to life, showing us that courage, friendship, and kindness aren’t just words on a page, they’re actions we can live by. Every moment of the performance carried the echo of perseverance, as our students embraced challenges, supported one another, and never gave up.
As Laurence Olivier once reflected, “The theatre is a wonderful invention that gives us the chance to see life reflected and understood.” In watching these performances, we saw life in all its messy, beautiful complexity, mirrored back through the dedication of our students.
The celebrations didn’t end there. The Term 4 Ensemble Concerts were a whirlwind of energy. Over 270 Secondary School students lit up the stage on Tuesday evening, followed by 280 Junior School students on Wednesday. Each performance was a reminder that music has the power to connect, inspire, and bring our community together.
To every student involved – thank you. Your courage to perform made these events unforgettable!
Look forward to seeing you all at the Week 5 Dance Showcase – The Beat of Time. Tickets can be purchased through the GMCPA Box Office.
